Kongsgaard Rose 2021

The 2021 Kongsgaard Rose is a fresh and vibrant wine crafted by winemaker John Kongsgaard. With a light pink hue and delicate aromas of wild strawberry and rose petal, this vibrant wine is an expression of the cool, ideal climatic conditions of the Napa Valley.

This rose offers a lovely balance of bright acidity and juicy fruit that is complemented by its slender savory character. On the palate, the dry wine offers crisp flavors of tart raspberry and cranberry with a trace of underlying minerality. A touch of spiciness rounds out the refreshing finish.

Kongsgaard Rose is the perfect accompaniment to a light summer meal. Its bright acidity and delicate fruit flavors boast a refreshing character that pairs beautifully with grilled chicken and fish. It can also stand up to the garlic and herb flavors of pasta dishes, as well as hard, salty cheeses.

John Kongsgaard has proven to be one of the most influential Napa Valley winemakers. His eye for nuance and flavor is showcased in this delicate rose, a product of cool climatic conditions that yield a bright and aromatic expression. The grapes, hand-selected and harvested early to keep the natural acidity intact, were given a gentle pressing to ensure a bright, appealing color and low tannins.
